  • The Preservation Evolution a Review of Preservation Literature, 1999–2001
    47(2) LRTS 59 The Preservation Evolution A Review of Preservation Literature, 1999–2001 JeanAnn Croft The literature representing 1999 to 2001 reveals that the preservation field is absorbed in an evolution. The literature demonstrates that trusted practices are changing to improve outcomes and further advance the preservation field. Simultaneously, in the wake of the digital revolution, preservation professionals dream about merging traditional and digital technologies in the hope that both long-term preservation and enhanced access will be achieved. This article attempts to relate the values of the discipline in order to inspire further research and persuade more work in formulating hypotheses to integrate preservation the- ory and practice. Finally, this overview of the literature will communicate the scope of the preservation problem, clarify misconceptions in the field, and docu- ment areas that warrant further investigation and refinement. he literature representing 1999 to 2001 reveals that the preservation field is Tcontinually absorbed in an evolution. This literature review examines the trends and customs of the preservation field as documented in the literature, and attempts to relate the values of the discipline in order to inspire further research and persuade more work in formulating hypotheses to integrate preservation theory and practice. Finally, this depiction of the literature will communicate the scope of the preservation problem, clarify misconceptions in the field, and document areas that warrant further investigation and refinement. Following up the preceding preservation literature reviews that have been pub- lished in this journal, this work provides a sampling of the preservation litera- ture and will not include book reviews, annual reports, preservation project announcements, technical leaflets, and strictly specialized conservation litera- ture.

Developed in partnership with the state’s library community, the Vision 2020 Plan affirms the ongoing value of libraries and provides a clear vision of what excellent libraries should look like. The Plan offers models of success that may be emulated by libraries throughout New York, and makes 60 inter-related strategic recommendations for libraries, library systems, the New York State Library, and the Board of Regents. Several essential themes run through the Vision 2020 Plan. Foremost, there is a recognition that the state’s 7000 libraries matter very much to the people of New York: libraries represent communities and they empower individuals. Libraries are adapting very quickly to ever-changing technology, and have continued to employ both traditional and contemporary methods to sustain their institutional commitment to several core values shared by all types of libraries.

Neal Vice President for Information Services and University Librarian Columbia University 535 West 114th Street New York, New York 10027 212.854.2247 Grant Period: May 1, 2008-July 31, 2009 Reporting Period: May 1, 2008-July 31, 2009 Mass Deacidification of Library and Archive Materials Final Report to the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Columbia University Libraries received an award of $27,500 in April 2008 from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to support a survey and report of the need for the deacidification of newly acquired print volumes in major research libraries. The study group included members from CUR, NYU, Yale, and the Mellon Foundation. In March 2009, the Mellon Foundation approved a no-cost extension through July 31, 2009 to host the originally scheduled March planning meeting in April and to allow additional time for the university's account department to process and pay all expenses charged to the grant. The result is the attached report, Mass Deacidifcation: The Needfor a National Program. The principal investigator, Jim Neal, and Columbia's Offce of the Controller worked together to complete the Financial Report, which was signed and submitted directly from the Office of the Controller. As indicated in the Financial Report, this grant was underspent by $6,647 (including interest income of $198), primarily due to significant savings in travel costs. A check in the amount of $6,647 wil be refunded to the Mellon Foundation.

  • CONNECTING to COLLECTIONS PENNSYLVANIA a Five-Year Preservation Plan for Pennsylvania PROJECT OVERVIEW
    CONNECTING TO COLLECTIONS PENNSYLVANIA a five-year preservation plan for Pennsylvania PROJECT OVERVIEW Imagining Our Future: Preserving Pennsylvania’s Collections, published in August 2009, includes an in-depth analysis of conditions and needs at Pennsylvania’s collecting institutions, a detailed preservation plan to improve collections care throughout the state, and a five-year implementation timetable (2010-2015). The analysis concludes that many of Pennsylvania’s most important historic holdings must be considered at risk. Millions of items comprise these collections, and the financial resources available to care for them are limited and shrinking. Pennsylvania is a state vibrant with world-class art museums, libraries, historic sites. Arts and culture play a substantial role in creating business, jobs, and bringing revenue into the state and stewardship of its artifacts is too important —to the state, to the people, to the history of country—to be ignored. This call to action is a rallying cry for all future generations of Pennsylvanians. With generous support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and in close partnership with three leading preservation organizations, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC), the Pennsylvania Federation of Museums and Historical Organizations (PFMHO), and LYRASIS, the Conservation Center for Arts & Historic Artifacts organized and led the assessment and planning process. The project was capably guided by a Task Force with representatives from the Office of (PA) Commonwealth Libraries, the Western Pennsylvania Museum Council, the Pennsylvania Caucus of the Mid- Atlantic Regional Archives Conference, Pennsylvania State University, the Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries, the University of Pittsburgh, and Carnegie Mellon University.

  • IAQ2010 Th 9 Indoor Air Quality Meeting
    IAQ2010 th 9 Indoor Air Quality meeting Chalon-sur-Saône, France 21-23 April 2010 2 Foreword The art and science of conservation We are proud and happy to have been chosen as the location for this 9th edition of the international conference of the IAQ Working Group - IAQ2010 which is taking place in France for the first time. Burgundy is a region which is famous for its heritage, its gastronomy, its wine production and its bucolic landscapes. All in all, a land which invites discovery. Chalon-sur-Saône has all of these. Our town has a strategic geographical position, a past punctuated by illustrious events and personalities, who contributed to a fascinating history. The birthplace of photography, we are quite naturally creating a centre of Higher Education and Research and Development geared towards new technologies of image and sound. We are favouring the establishment of businesses in the forefront of these areas which offer high added value. Conscious of the importance of the links with our cultural and historical past, our policy is to wish to prevent long-term degradation. Safeguarding our heritage is a major challenge for us all. Let us not forget that it constitutes the material of history for future generations. In a way, we are its guardians. By your work you are today contributing to conserve this heritage, to be able to pass it on for tomorrow. To this end you have chosen to work together to share, to make the most of your experience and your knowledge. IAQ is a positive and interactive coming together which is absolutely necessary when we know the irreversible damage which an inadequate environment can cause on collections, objects, works of art, archives or any historic building.
